The game's story is designed to be an engaging experience, drawing inspiration from "Alice in Wonderland," but it may not resonate with everyone due to its vague objectives and quest system that can lead to confusion and backtracking. While the narrative is easy to follow and becomes more fleshed out as players progress, many quests feel repetitive and lack depth, often requiring players to rely on walkthroughs to navigate effectively. Overall, the story is light but encourages exploration and offers excitement through its missions.
- “This is a game that is meant to tell a story and be an experience.”
- “The story is easy to follow, understand, and for some, identifiable since it's inspired by Alice in Wonderland.”
- “Every mission feels exciting and encourages exploration.”
- “While I'm not one for a good long hand-hold, I like to know what my objective is without a doubt, and that felt a little weak here, leading to much backtracking and scouting when you misinterpret the vague finger point the story gives you.”
- “Feel like every NPC gives a quest which feels like none are there to build out the world.”
- “Since every quest is just blindly searching for items, you may as well play with a walkthrough; otherwise, you're following along every wall with your camera pointed at the ground.”
